“I would like to thank all those who helped and supported me over the last four years to carry out my role as chairman of Laois Down Syndrome.”

Mick Gorman spoke “from the heart” as he stepped down from his role as chairperson at the Laois Down Syndrome AGM on Wednesday February 19 in Gort na nOir, Abbeyleix.

Conor Glynn was elected to fill the shoes of Mr Gorman as chairperson, alongside a new committee for 2014.

Mr Gorman expressed his confidence in the newly elected chairperson.

“It has been a privilege to serve as chair and help to make our branch one of the best in the country, given our size.

“Our new chairman is without a doubt the man to take us from here, onwards and upwards,” he said in his speech.

Mr Gorman’s vision for Laois Down Syndrome has always been one of great hope, achievement and determination to give children with Down Syndrome all they deserve to achieve a healthy, happy life. His philosophy “from cradle to grave” will be continued by Laois Down Syndrome.

Laois Down Syndrome thanked Mr Gorman for the amazing amount of time, hard work and dedication he put into into making association what it is today, and they were delighted to announce that he will remain on board as a committee member for 2014.
